Pass me by

Leo Long 1986 (Durban)

I built my life on dreams;
castles in the sky
sat back, reposed
And watched the world drift on by

I wished upon it peace
As I looked at it afar
and from my cotton wool world,
This dream wasn't far!

I dreamed of it free
smiles on every face
as the whipped cream parted
and it drifted off in space
